Just another mission? Not for Carl Underwood — A.K.A. Ricochet. The dark-haired, chocolate-skinned beauty he and his team ride off to rescue is up to her neck in trouble with a white supremacy militia group. There's more to this woman than meets the eye, more than he's prepared to deal with. The sooner this mission is over the better.

Veronica Holter doesn't work well with others, especially if it interferes with her personal agenda. Her life's mission is to find the man who brutally killed her mother. In the process, she's become the target of a very wealthy, very powerful man hell-bent on eliminating her. The handsome Ricochet and his team are just what she needs to survive and accomplish her goal. A little extracurricular activity with him would be nice too. But first, she has to knock down his defenses. Not so easy.
